Degenerative hand pathology

With the passage of time and factors such as overuse, microtrauma, genetic predisposition or diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, the joints of the hand can suffer progressive wear and tear that alters their function and causes pain.

More information

Degenerative pathologies of the hand range from arthrosis to erosive inflammatory processes such as rheumatoid arthritis. These conditions affect the normal functioning of joints and tendons, compromising daily activities.
Treatment has three main objectives: delay progression, relieve pain and restore function. The most frequent interventions include:

Synovectomy: joint cleaning to prevent erosion and slow the progression of arthritis.
Arthrodesis: fixation of a damaged joint to eliminate pain associated with movement.
Arthroplasty: joint replacement by prosthesis or tendon.
Tendon realignments or tendon transfers and tenodesis: to restore functionality.

Our specialists will evaluate your case in a personalized way to indicate the best treatment according to your diagnosis and functional needs.
